All things data

Xplenty notification emails now include “View Job” and “View Cluster” action buttons. The buttons are available at the inbox level, so you can easily interact with jobs and clusters in Xplenty without having to open emails.

Analyzing the large amounts of data in your data warehouse is now easier than ever with support for the Cube and Rollup functions. You can now aggregate your data across multiple field combinations in one step. Besides reducing the steps required, the processing is now more efficient.

Xplenty now supports the capability to join dataflows using non-equality conditions to compare values between the dataflows. This is done using the new cross join component to define the data sources to join and then applying a filter to the joined dataflow.

Happy holidays everyone! We’ve been working hard to make the Xplenty Hadoop-as-a-Service platform better and more user friendly for you. We hope you’re enjoying your experience with us, and these updates and improvements will make it that much better. Enough small talk, let’s cut to the chase.

Account Members - you can invite your friends and colleagues to help you solve your big data problems. Just go to your account settings, click members and invite them.

We also added new Watchers API endpoint which enables you to list a cluster or job watchers, add the authenticated user as a watcher, or remove the authenticated user from the watchers list. Check out theWatchers documentation.

Xplenty is pleased to announce we are launching a public release. Now anyone can sign up, get a free 14 day trial period in which they can build packages and test them. Then, once you've realized how easy it is to process large amounts of data using Xplenty, you can pick a pricing plan and become an actual paying customer. The pricing plans determine the maximum size and number of clusters that can be created in an Xplenty account. Existing customers will not be affected by the changes.
